The three terms that make up Filo’s mission—sustainability, traceability, and supply chain—are also the words around which the exhibition organises a constant discussion with the businesses that attend the fair and all of its activities. Beyond these three key terms, which define the future of the textile industry, internationalisation and innovation are the other two most important ones.
Due to the continual rise of foreign exhibitors, visitors, and buyers, Filo is becoming a more global exposition. Foreign operators’ participation in the trade show, both as exhibitors and attendees, enables the creation of unique relationships that open up new development opportunities in markets that are difficult for one firm, particularly if it is a SME, to penetrate, such as the ones in which they operate. being a part of the textile sector. Regarding innovation, the constant search for new goods, innovations, and solutions stands out as something that sets apart all the companies taking part in Filo, sort of a sine qua non need for exhibiting yarns and fibres at the Exhibition.
The CEO of Filo, Paolo Monfermoso, states: “Filo’s growing internationalisation satisfies a specific requirement of the businesses and the market. Access to international markets is key to the expansion of textile businesses and the promotion of Made in Italy. Additionally, new textile concepts are developed through interaction and collaboration with various realities. The unifying factor among the organisations taking part in Filo, both Italian and foreign, is that their stories, operations, and corporate characteristics differ. Ones are superior product quality, adherence to social and environmental norms, and a focus on the manufacturing sector’s future.
